Farmingdale, N.Y. - In a tie game with six seconds remaining, Farmingdale State sophomore guard Damien Santana (Brooklyn, N.Y./Grady) made two free throws for a 74-72 lead and the eventual victory in a Skyline Conference Quarterfinal victory over St. Joseph's (17-9) tonight in Farmingdale, N.Y. The Rams improved to 18-8 with the win and will now face top-seeded Manhattanville College in Purchase, N.Y. in the Skyline Semifinals on Thursday night, February 22nd, at 7:00 p.m.

Farmingdale held just a three point lead at the half, 38-35, while the second called for five ties and five lead changes. The Rams were up six points at 1:52, before St. Joe's senior guard Jorge Martinez (Brentwood, N.Y./Brentwood) scored four points and junior forward Brandon Freeman (Freeport, N.Y./Freeport) hit a jumper to tie the score with 31 seconds on the clock. Farmingdale quickly brought the ball down the court and set up a play for Santana, who was fouled under the basket and his two successful free throws would be enough after a last second jumper by St. Joe's was off the mark.
